Bracing

There's nothing like following a busy Christmas Day with a 6:30am start to take a group of sheep...uh...tourists around Hobart. They were all looking pretty docile and stonkered, but we managed not to lose any.

At the top of the mountain we enjoyed the delights of some summer sleet and wind, bracing to say the least. But with a little cajoling and some timely jokes we kept morale high and got away with it.

And Boxing Day is never complete without a new release at the movies, this time off to the opening day of The Hobbit 3. Someone needs to give Peter Jackson a good pair of scissors, and teach him how to use them, but at least it's enjoyably overlong.
